lyrics

We told a little story about your love
With children's books about ol' Noah's ark and the flood
We told a little story
About the world that you created in only seven days
We took it literally

We told a little story
We sang our little songs
Belittled all your glory
Saying that our tribe's the only one

We told a little story
A little story about your grace
We neglected to include the entire human race
We told a little story
About your plan to save the chosen ones
And sort the sheep out from the goats and right from wrong

We wove a little fable
We told a little lie
We taught our little children
That their little sins condemned them all to die

But little did we know
Little did we care
Little did we grow
Littler every year

But I sense a bigger story
A bigger story than before
Every daughter, every son, every human one of yours
I see the bigger glory
A humbler, gentler, kinder love
That's willing to stand with the hurt and broken, every one of us

So I tell a bigger story
I sing a bigger song
You see that God’s not bigoted
Not concerned in right or wrong
And yes this love is bigger than
Deeper, wider, higher than
So big that all the universe belongs
So big that all the universe belongs

Through the specificity of his own deconstruction, Ben writes into our universal search for belonging, spiritual homecoming, and desire to live seen and unashamed. ... more
